BuildIT Metrology

Composite tolerances in GD&T define multiple levels of positional control for patterns of features. Given their multi-layered complexity, they may look very challenging at first sight. The goal...

PCM INNOVATION (PCM) designs and manufactures assembly lines, fixtures, and molds for high-precision parts. Its customers are world leaders in aviation, aerospace, and transportation. Many of the p...

The goal of this blog post is to present the maximum material boundary (MMB) concept in GD&T applications. The maximum material boundary concept is simply the use of a maximum material condition...

  In this blog post, we will take a look at the advantages of software metrology over classical metrology, comparing the level of information that can be obtained for workflows used to achieve...

In this post, we are going to take a look at the multiple methods of evaluating flatness in GD&T and determine which is the optimal approach. Flatness is a GD&T form tolerance that is conceptually...

For metrologists, it is crucial to ensure that all the tolerances are inspected reliably.  Thus, the clarity of information on 3D display and pdf reports can be vital when sharing your metrology...

In a previous post, we presented an application of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing with a wind turbine flange. In this text we will continue further, analyzing the same part with simulated...

Did you know that you can use Python scripts in BuildIT?  If you transform your Python files into executable files, you can import them into BuildIT processes. With this workflow, you can combine...

ASNA overcomes shop-floor challenges. In a TED Talk, Geordie Rose, co-creator of the D-WAVE quantum computer, said, “Humans use tools to do things. If you give humans a new kind of tool, they can...

This post will present a possible case in the aerospace industry for locating a fuselage part with 9-2-1 location, using datum target areas. For more detailed information on datum targets, you may...

BuildIT allows users to perform quick and easy inspections. It also enables users to perform analysis and produce reports that are both detailed and simple to generate. The Surface Inspection...
